जाढ्यं धियो हरति सिञ्चति वाचि सत्यं
मानोन्नतिं दिशति पापमपाकरोति ।
चित्तः प्रसादयति दिक्षु तनोति कीर्तिं
सत्सङ्गतिः कथय किं न करोति पुंसाम् ॥
Meaning:
What does not good association do for men? It removes the dulness of their intellects, it sprinkles truth in their speech, it brings the highest honors for them, expels sin from them, it purifies their minds and spreads their fame in all the directions.
